The global exhibition landscape just witnessed a historic shakeup, and the epicenter is right here in Hyderabad.
IMAX Corporation and Asian Cinemas have officially signed a monumental deal to bring three brand-new IMAX with Laser locations to India under the premium AMB Cinemas brand.
While the announcement itself is a massive win for Indian movie lovers, the strategic mastermind behind this moves points directly to one man: Superstar Mahesh Babu.
Co-owned by the Superstar, AMB Cinemas is already considered the crown jewel of luxury film exhibition in Hyderabad, but this new multi-theatre expansion takes things to a cosmic level.
Two of these highly anticipated IMAX screens will be situated right in Hyderabad, providing local cinephiles with unparalleled visual and audio technology.
The crown jewel of this rollout will be the upcoming premium property, AMB Classic, which is on track to wrap up its grand construction by the end of 2026.
This hyper-specific timeline isn’t a coincidence, it is a masterclass in calculated planning and pure, unadulterated passion for the theatrical medium.
Mahesh Babu isn’t just preparing a standard theatrical release; he is building a literal stadium worthy of welcoming “Varanasi” his upcoming globe-trotting action epic directed by the visionary S.S. Rajamouli.
With Varanasi officially locking its targets for a massive, unprecedented worldwide release next year in April, Mahesh Babu is ensuring his home turf has the absolute finest exhibition tech on the planet ready to capture Rajamouli’s breathtaking vision.
Everyone in the industry knows that an S.S. Rajamouli film demands the biggest possible canvas.
By aggressively securing three massive IMAX with Laser setups ahead of time, Mahesh Babu has proven his immense confidence in the film’s scale and his deep dedication to the audience.
He isn’t looking at Varanasi as just another commercial project, he treats it as a global cinematic event that deserves an elite, uncompromised viewing experience.
This isn’t just corporate business, this is Mahesh Babu’s pure love for the art of cinema on full display.
When Varanasi finally arrives on the big screens next April, Hyderabad won’t just be watching a movie; they will be witnessing a global spectacle inside an exhibition empire built specifically for it.
The countdown to the ultimate IMAX cinematic revolution has officially begun!
